When using the 2488MKII, the term " song " refers to all
the data related to the recording, playback, editing, and
other work in a single project. Each song includes recorded
audio data, and a " playlist " (playback procedures for audio
data), track and mark point information, and settings for
the mixer, effects, MIDI, tempo and pitch control. This
information is never shared between different songs.
Each partition can contain a maximum of 250 songs, and
each song can be given a name.
